The Beatles

In our last outing, we realised that Nature was brutish and dangerous. We proposed many kind, humane, and gentle ways to prevent her from wreaking havoc on her hapless creatures. Word has gotten out that Kartel Shockington is sympathetic to all life forms. Some have said he is pathetic, but we are ignoring those inanimates for now.

Letters have started to pour in. From bugs to beetles, fish to frogs, snails to snakes, peacocks to pandas, and turtles to tigers, they have written in to voice their concern over Nature and her ways. For the benefit of our readers, we reproduce some of them below (1).

We were truly shockingtoned at all that goes on in the animal kingdom, not to mention with plants, and even fungi. Nature is weird and cruel Though we have to say that we couldn’t help the occasional chuckle, for she does have a wicked sense of humus. These letters only strengthen out conviction…. she cannot be trusted to look after her own.
